Hon Deputy Speaker, the IFP wants to thank the Minister for immediately taking action against the head of the department. All government employees who disregard instructions from their departments and who are not observing all the relevant and applicable laws that apply to government employees, should be dealt with properly.
Why was the advocate allowed to enter the cell without the proper procedure and enough security? Is the advocate seen as part of the escapees' plan or not? If not, why not?
All escapees charged with serious crime should be reported to this House so that the House can assist the Minister in whatever action she might take. And we should undertake to help her in making it easy to explain all these things every now and then. Thank you. [Applause.]
